Paul Scanlon
Senior Software Engineer / Developer Relations
@GatsbyJS
Hey there! 👋
I'm Paul and a long long time ago I was a designer, but after a few years of pixel pushing I realized code is just better. I've held various positions in and around advertising, tech and web/application development in both permanent and contract positions since 2005.
I once co-founded and ran an award winning digital production agency in London called Super natural
I now work at Gatsby 💜
